stability. Storm force winds and hazardous waves will capsize
or damage vessels and reduce visibility.

Huge "wall of water" could devastate Great Lake A reservoir with waste from a Minnesota mine is at the heart of a legal battle. The consequences for Lake Superior could be huge.

The clock is ticking in a legal battle over a Minnesota mining project that campaigners warn could inflict catastrophic damage on Lake Superior and nearby communities.

Officials argue a 50-year-old environmental assessment shows proposed works at the site are safe.

The Other Side of the World’s Largest Dam Removal | Hakai Magazine Removing dams from the Klamath River in Northern California seems like a clear win for fish and rivers. Why do some locals hate it?

The US has been removing dams and restoring salmon/wildife habitat. This is a truly bizarre story of how some locals reacted (among other things)
